5.3. Sensor Siting

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is a critical zone in sensor siting?

   Hint

   Think about structures or environmental conditions that are monitored.

2. 2.

   Define redundancy in the context of sensor siting.

   Hint

   It's about having backup systems.

3. 3.

   What does redundancy in sensor siting refer to?

   • Single sensor usage
   • Multiple sensors in same area
   • Data storage method

   Hint

   Think about backup procedures.

4. 4.

   True or False: Accessibility is irrelevant when siting sensors.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider how easy it is to check the sensors.

5. 5.

   Propose a sensor siting plan for monitoring subsurface water levels in an urban area. Consider potential environmental factors and accessibility.

   Hint

   Think about sources of contamination and urban infrastructures.

6. 6.

   Design a redundancy plan for a sensor network monitoring a landslide-prone area, explaining why each sensor needs a backup.

   Hint

   Focus on geological and environmental risks.
